據天然氣新聞2020年9月16日倫敦報道，俄羅斯天然氣工業股份公司（俄氣/Gazprom）首席執行官阿列克謝·米勒9月16日在莫斯科表示，俄氣計劃今年向歐洲儲存設施注入大約90億立方米的天然氣，為即將到來的冬天需求旺季做好準備。

俄氣近幾年來一直在歐洲構建其天然氣儲存能力，以便在需求旺盛的冬季增加供應靈活性。

考慮到俄羅斯經由烏克蘭流入歐洲的天然氣可能面臨中斷的威脅（最終毫無根據的），俄氣今年計劃在歐洲儲存的天然氣數量將低于俄氣去年計劃在歐洲構建的至少114億立方米。

米勒9月16日在克里姆林宮會見總統時還說，俄羅斯在供氣季節開始之前的天然氣庫存量將達到723億立方米，與去年的水平一致。

根據克里姆林宮網站上公布的會議記錄，米勒說：“所有這些措施的實施將使俄氣能夠完全滿足消費者在冬季的所有天然氣需求。”

Gazprom to inject almost 9 Bcm into European storage facilities

Russia's Gazprom plans to inject almost 9 Bcm of gas into storage in Europe in preparation for the coming winter, CEO Alexei Miller said Sept. 16.

Gazprom has been building up its gas storage capacity in Europe in recent years to give it more supply flexibility during the high-demand winter months.

The planned volume for this year is lower than the stocks it planned to build last year in Europe of at least 11.4 Bcm given the threat -- ultimately unfounded -- of disruption to Russian flows to Europe via Ukraine.

During a meeting with Russian President at the Kremlin Sept. 16, Miller also said stocks in Russia ahead of the withdrawal season would reach 72.3 Bcm, in line with levels last year.

"The implementation of all these measures will allow Gazprom to fully satisfy all the needs of our consumers in winter," Miller said.
